To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
And just like that, Larisa fell and Ponor should outscore her. A pity.
Oh Christ, Iordache puts her hands down on her triple.......NOOOOO
Iordache wtf was that so lovely otherwise
Oh no Iordache down on the triple SO GOOD before that! I am such a jerk for my conspiracy thoughts, obvs she's pretty injured. I wish they had taken the whip into that out, she wasn't hitting that in podium training either.
And Koko Tsurumi makes the UB final 15.066, knocks out Kyla Ross who is now 1st alternate.
Iordache She's so effervescent too. Would much rather see her than Ponor in the EF.
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." Olympic Charter
Poor Larisa, but does this mean Ponor will make FX final?
13.8 for Iordache....
Oh Iordache... Me thinks that this means Russia will be second after prelims of course this means absolutely nothing because its well freakin Russia. But Romania always IMO needed to be perfect and have mistakes from Russia.
Android Tablet Live Now app is available finally...
Why is Izbasa only doing a single pirouette on the floor? She used to have a lovely triple spin.
Tsurumi is pretty safe in UB EF right? No Romanians to outscore her?

Post subject: Hoth pilot - Dia Passik
I decided to make a hoth pilot version as I already have an X-wing pilot costume and winters are quite cold here in Czech Republic
My pilot:
And as I like Twi'leks I would like to make this character - Dia Passik from Wraith Squadron:
Right now I'm researching what I will need to add to my costume and searching for the right fabric for the jacket...

Looks great!
You cold ask Mon Cal or Mr Bojangles for the wrist comm pad. If I am not mistaken, both of them should have a mould of my sculpt.
Corellian Exports used to make a nice badge for the chest pocket.
I suppose that you have already seen the

This is looking pretty sharp. As you said, just tighten it up and you're set.
You know, you might also be able to submit it as Cisi "Doc" Eriss as well. I think her skin color and markings are also very similar.

I would shy away from the "ripstop" fabric, it has a square pattern that shows.
I have an extra pilot rank badge and wrist comm that you could buy if your interested.

Thanks for all the advice and help :-)
I already have the rank badge, as I am also working om my Hoth Leia costume (done by friend from 501st here
I also got the wrist comm from Phyliss - thanks again
And I found a fabric in a store here in Prague, its not perfect, but the color matches well with my jumpsuit, its a microfiber fabric type:
I will stick with the Dia Passik character as I liked her in novels (if she can be approved as formal), and because a friend of mine will be making hers Cesi soon
So now I have to make the jacket (or rather two, second one for my husband) and find the right gloves...

I don't believe that the jacket necessarily needs to match the color of the flightsuit material... From what I can tell, it looks like the cold weather jacket is a different shade of orange than the flightsuit. It looks like it's a little bit lighter in color.

Well that's what I meant by match
I was trying to find some fabric that was a bit lighter and less deep orange than the flightsuit as it should be and this was it, I just formulated it badly I guess. Will try to make a photo of both in one picture...

Sorry! Even Bob can't fix stupid!
From their website:
Note that if an item needs to be replaced from a third party seller such as Amazon, eBay, or GroupOn, the seller's policies apply. If a replacement is needed after the seller's RMA period (usually 30 days), customers will need to ship the item back and also provide payment for shipping the replacement item back (usually a $7.00 value).
It's Item # 2:
He just picked up an ASUS RT-N16 this past weekend, and in no time had the cameras working. He loves the new routher and cameras so much.
So try a different router if you can.
I've set up 16 of these Foscams at several different locations and have never had a problem. These are rock solid as far as I'm concerned. I've had them working since Dec of last year and not a single problem, across different states.
Let us know what you find.

cheap, fast, good - pick any two.
PSA: Yahoo email is extremely insecure...switch to Gmail if you can!! Hotmail is better but not as good as Gmail.
Finally! Target.com screwed me and as well as a LOT of people over on the previous 'deal' so it's nice to finally get my order placed. Actually saved a few bucks too.
Thumbs up and rep'd OP!

I got this cam last deal here. Found tip online can't remember where but it helped a lot getting cam to work.
"1) Do NOT install the software on the CD.
2) Connect the camera by Cat-5 wire to your computer.
3) Login to your router (via browser) and find the IP address assigned to your camera.
4) Login to the camera at that IP address (via browser) and IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the DHCP.
5) Give your camera a fixed IP address on your network and fill in the subnet mask with what you normally use.
6) The Gateway and DNS fields should normally be the IP address of your router.
7) Fill in the SSID, encryption type, and share key used by your wireless network.
8) Pick a 4 digit number to use for the HTTP port number. (I have no idea what "Network Lamp" is so I left it checked.)
9) Disconnect the Cat-5 cable and re-boot the camera.
10) Re-login to the camera at the new fixed IP address to verify that everything's working.
11) Login to your router and set a port-forwarding entry to map to the fixed IP address and HTTP port you gave your camera.
12) Use the "What's My IP" site to find your outside IP address.
13) Enter your outside IP address and HTTP port number into a browser and verify that you can get into the camera from outside your house."
on 12 & 13 I think I just used the camera free foscam ip address.

Here is help from their website
4) Once logged in to the Camera, look on the left panel and click on the option "For Administrator" (if using IE) or "Device Management" (if using Firefox or Google Chrome"). Then click on "Wireless Lan Settings". Here, check the box next to "Using Wireless Lan". Then, enter your "SSID". Then, select your "Encryption" which is going to be (e.g., WPA/WPA2/WEP together with either TKIP/AES/TKIP-AES). Next, enter your "Shared Key". *********Click "Submit" and let the Camera Reboot. Wait 30 seconds and then remove the ethernet/network cable.********
If you are having trouble, set your wireless Encryption Method to WPA and your encryption technique to TKIP. I seem to have the best results using those settings.
5) Give the camera about 30 to 45 seconds to start up and you should start to see the green led on the front flashing much faster than. Open IP camera tools and the camera should appear. *******Once your camera goes wireless your camera will receive a new IP Address*********, you will need to use this new IP Address when setting up port forwarding. Now that you have the Wireless Setup working on your Foscam IP Camera, then you can go on to the next tutorial which shows you how to setup your Foscam so that it is accessible from anywhere on the internet.

First of all,I should mention that I have not purchased this product from flipkart.This is because i do not purchase expensive pens without physically 'feeling' them.But i do trust flipkart and I have never experienced any compromise with quality during my long term relationship them.So in future i may try a quality writing instrument from flipkart.However,now I would like to give a little review on this pen and I hope that will be useful.
so here we start,
1.BUILD QUALITY:a solid 5/5.
As far as the build quality is concerned,this pen is flawless. Starting from the cap to the clip to the body and lastly to the nib and the feed,everything is just flawless.I could not found a single mistake.The cap fits very smoothly and securely and you can feel it.The grip section is solid metal and the barrel too is very solid metal.So there is no compromise in this section.It should last life long.
The nib is a jewel.I would dare to say that if you use a parker (i assume it is not a very expensive model like a duo-fold or a premium or sonnet etc.)and think it is smooth,just give this sheaffer a try.I bet you will be blown away.The nib is what we call buttery smooth and the writing experience is completely different than that of usual fountain pens.I just love the way it writes.The only complain i have here is about the grip section.It is slippery.It is not that much evident when you just doodle with love but very prominent when you try to make some serious fast writing.This may be a problem for long term writing sessions(such as exams).So this is a down side i have to mention.
very well balanced pen that has some good weight to it.It is not as light as a lamy safari but still very comfortable to use.The price is very justified by the materials and performance they are providing and this is why I prefer sheaffer to many other brands who either do not offer you anything precious or offer some good materials at a very higher range.Sheaffer always takes your money in exchange of some precious or solid materials and superior quality craftsmanship.I love this brand.
CONCLUSION:I highly recommend this pen.This is not a pen for fast paced life but at least you should have some time when you are not a busy man and want some space beyond this hectic world.This piece of fine writing instrument suits very much for those times.
thank you.
This is what I experienced...
The weight of the pen, as some people have already stated, is on the heavier side. So it's definitely not meant for long hours of writing. But that's not much of a problem for me. The problem was somewhere else. Though it's a smooth nib (and might have got better with a bit more handling), the skips quite a bit. It leaves behind empty spaces that you need to fill in with a second stroke. Now that's not something very pleasant. I felt it a bit while writing. And so I tried drawing vertical and horizontal strokes. And was quite disappointed with traces of skipping in both kinds of strokes.
It's a winner on the looks department though. Classy body. Classy nib.
But then, a fountain pen, to me is more for writing than exuding a style statement. And thus it failed to impress me.
Did manage to return it and get a refund in a jiffy though.
I recently bought this pen from Flipkart. The pen arrived in a perfect shape. It seemed fine at first use. However after a few days of writing I realized that when I tried to write fast, the ink would not flow smoothly. I decided to wait for a few more days in the hope that the problem will get over. That was my biggest mistake! Because of my wait the Flipkart 10 days Replacement Guarantee was over. (I contacted them after about 15 days.). Flipkart refused to either replace or even get it repaired on payment basis.
Moral of the story: Go to a physical store while buying an expensive pen. That way you have at least one place to go and complain if it does not turn out to be perfect.
Though I bought it from Snapdeal, since it was cheaper there. However, I am a big fan of Flipkart for its professionalism and Customer support/focus. Here are my views on this awesome pen :-
1. The ultimate in writing pleasure.
2. Super soft and smooth as silk.
3. It redefines writing with fountain pen.
4. Full steel body.
5. Must for fountain pen lovers.
6. You can never go wrong with a Sheaffer.
7. Try it to believe it.
8. Have used Parker earlier and believe me, Parker is no patch on Sheaffer.
9. Just go for it with your eyes closed.
10. Comes with a bill and one year warranty from Sheaffer.
This is a very good looking pen, although on the heavier side, which is sort of likeable, as you feel that you are holding something. It writes very smoothly and has got a nice feel to it. The body looks translucent and it comes along with two ink cartridges and a converter so do not have to wait to test this baby.

Wesley Theological Seminary's urban Washington, DC location provides countless opportunities for service to the world. In fact, starting in Fall 2011, service is built into the curriculum.
Spiritual Formation for the Practice of Ministry, a required first year course at Wesley, was formerly called "Covenant Discipleship" and has been a part of the Masters of Divinity program at Wesley for approximately 10 years. The purpose of the class is to introduce students to the sustained practice of spiritual disciplines and provide a model of mutual accountability.
There are several components to the class. One component breaks two class sections into small groups of five-to-eight students that come together to write a covenant addressing how their cohort will learn the spiritual disciplines that they will take with them into ministry.
Then, once a week, students will make a trip down to Wesley's Mount Vernon Square location in the heart of downtown DC to learn compassion, justice, worship and devotion in the context of the continually changing Chinatown neighborhood in the heart of the city. This will include standard classroom lectures, but also a meal and worship together once per month at one of our partner churches, including Mount Vernon Place United Methodist, Asbury United Methodist and Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
These projects, designed to get students out into the community to serve, might include face-to-face opportunities serving breakfast or lunch at a local soup kitchen or hands-on activities like stocking food pantry shelves or putting together food packages. They could also include putting together a website or creating marketing brochures for programs that don't have time for this work in their normal operations.
The revised curriculum is one more step in Wesley's endeavors to ensure that our students are equipped to "do good well." Encouraging them to become involved in the practical aspects of ministry early in their seminary career will ensure that they walk into their first ministries prepared to encourage congregations in their ministry to the world.

The Army has begun making awards for its $23.5 billion Eagle logistics contract, with 33 companies named to the contract so far.
The contract, technically a basic ordering agreement known as the Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise program, will be used for moving equipment in and out of theater, resetting equipment so it is ready for deployment, training troops, inventory, services and parts availability.
The companies will compete for task orders. The first task orders will be issued after Oct. 15.
More awards are expected, according to the Army announcement, and will be rolled out over the next several weeks.
The Army also is working on another solicitation under the Eagle program, called Step Two. It is for what the Army is calling emergent and additional requirements. The Army also is telling bidders who fail to get on the first round of contracts by Oct. 1 to give notice if they are interested in Step Two. They need to give notice between Oct. 1 and Oct. 5.
The Army said it is unlikely all the awards for the first part of Eagle will be made by Oct. 15.
Work will be done at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., Afghanistan and Kuwait.
The 33 winners of Eagle so far are:

I've been a huge fan of the Battlefield series since I hooked on it playing the demo of Battlefield 1942 at a LAN party a few years back. I was instantly hooked by the excellent multiplayer action and the different levels of combat. Sure the game had bugs but the pull of the squad based combat and all the cool things you could do was irresistible. Plus, running over people in a Jeep at high speeds was pretty hysterical. Since then we've had the middling Battlefield: Vietnam and the very solid Battlefield 2.
There's a plot in Battlefield 2142 about global warming and fighting over the Earth's last resources but does it really matter? There are two different sides and they are hellbent on killing each other which is all you really need to know. The only real problem with the plot is that since the game takes place in the future and the sides are fairly (European forces vs. Pan Asian forces) it's a little harder to get into the characters. I know this is probably just me but I found it a little easier to play the other games as it was a lot easier to get into the role of an American GI, Nazi soldier, and Chinese soldier. That said what the game lacks in plot it does make up for in gameplay tweaks.
Battlefield 2142 retains the conquest mode that's been its bread and butter since Battlefield 1942. The folks at DICE didn't really tweak this mode that too much as it was pretty close to perfect after getting the last major revision in Battlefield 2. You do get additional points for doing things where your squad leader tells you to, which helps with the team work aspects but there are no drastic overhauls to the system. The commander role returns as well with a few tweaks but for the most part BF2 veterans will feel right at home.
Battlefield 2142 does introduce the new Titan mode. Orbiting the battlefield are two giant floating airships (the Titans) that serve as one of the initial spawn points for each team. Instead of capturing mindless control points around the map you capture rocket launchers which then target the opponents Titan. The Titans are shielded so the rockets first take out the shields and then begin to destroy the hull of the ship. However, once the shields are down the Titans can be boarded and destroyed from within by destroying four control panels which then opens up the core of the ship which then must be destroyed.
The Titan mode adds a few more strategic elements as it adds a second stage to the game beyond the "capture all the control points mode". Once the shields on your team's Titan are down you now have to worry about defending the Titan. When the shields on the enemy's titan are down you have to decide if it's worth it to go for the quick kill of boarding and taking the Titan down or sticking with defending the rocket launchers. Either strategy works but it really adds an entire new level of strategy to the game. The Titan mode also fixes some of the bigger problems with the Battlfield franchise by adding some meaning to the capture points and by eliminating spawn camping. Since each team had a titan spawn point that's protected by shields you can't just camp a teams spawn point. The Titans also have a nice battery of weapons to defend itself so smart commanders can park their Titan over a control point and use the massive guns on the Titan to protect it.
The fact that the Titans can be moved presents a problem though. Battlefield 1942 vets will remember how much lag was generated when you moved the aircraft carrier and while moving the Titans in 2142 isn't nearly that bad, it is significant. It's never a good sign when you log into a server and get a message that the admins are kicking and banning people who move the Titans.

For Star Wars fans, today's great news is seismic. The prospect of new movies invites a rush of questions as the mind races to grasp its implications. The one that sticks in my mind, though, isn't about the movies. It's: "Where were you when you heard?" While the temptation is to speculate wildly on what lies beyond the horizon and be mindful of the future, I also don't want to lose track of the present, as Qui-Gon advises in Episode I.
To my fellow old school Star Wars fans, I ask you to reach into your collection and dust off Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine #10, the Winter 1990 issue of the official fan club magazine. I'll wait while you admire the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade cover. Now flip it open, and there, on page 1, is the breathless headline that blares, "The FORCE To Return In The 90′s!!"

If your account is housed at PNC in the U.S. and you are making a payment to a supplier who owns an account at a financial institution located in the European Economic Area, then you are not obligated to supply an IBAN as part of the remittance information of the wire transfer. However, asking your beneficiary for their IBAN and using it in your funds transfer instruction will help to avoid posting delays or delays in notification of receipt at the receiving financial institution.
The following set of Frequently Asked Questions is designed to:
Q. What is an IBAN? Q. Why was the IBAN introduced? Q. When is an IBAN used? Q. Who will be required to use IBANs? Q. Will IBANs be issued in the United States? If you would like further information regarding IBANs, please visit the following resources:
A. IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number. It is assigned to account owners of banks within the European Union and serves as an account identifier. The IBAN identifies a beneficiary's bank account and includes specific information the receiving bank will use to automatically apply funds. The IBAN is used exclusively within the European Economic Area. All banks within this region have been mandated to assign and issue an IBAN to uniquely identify their respective clients. This is being driven by the larger objective of the Single European Payment Area (SEPA) to address cross-border payments in the European Union. Banks outside of the European Union have not adopted this standard and are not obligated to issue IBAN numbers to their clients.
A. The IBAN was conceived by the European Committee for Banking Standards and introduced to increase the rate of straight-through processing (STP) and lower the cost of financial messages and transactions between financial institutions within the European Union in order to:
A. An IBAN is used to identify a beneficiary of a payment where the beneficiary's account is housed at a financial institution within the European Economic Area. It is used in combination with the European Bank's SWIFT Bank Identifier Code (BIC) to properly route and apply funds.
An IBAN must be supplied when the following payment conditions apply:
A. The requirement is mandated for payment origination that is cross border in the European Economic Area. Payments originating outside this region, in areas such as North America or Asia, are not mandated to include an IBAN.
A. Account owners of U.S. Dollar denominated or Multicurrency Demand Deposit Accounts domiciled within the U.S. will not be assigned an IBAN as they are not assigned nor required outside of the European Union.
While not required, it is recommended that you provide an IBAN, along with your payment instructions, to PNC when making payments into Europe from your PNC Account. The IBAN may be supplied by your counter party for example on an invoice.

Lost in the controversy over where this year's Herder Memorial Trophy series games will be played is the trophy itself.
What people forget is that this trophy does not belong to Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador. Nor does it belong to the Cataracts or the newly formed Newfoundland Senior Hockey League. It doesn't belong to this paper, the title sponsor of the provincial senior championship series.
It's still the rightful property of the Herder clan and knowing how dearly they regard the award — named in honour of their late loved ones — I would imagine this latest controversy has them wondering why they would continue to have their prestigious family name tarnished while half-truths are being thrown around by both sides of this contentious debate.
Were I part of the Herder clan, I would approach Hockey NL and the league executive and inform them that they can have their championship series, but the hardware hoisted when the buzzer sounds on the series clinching game won't be the Herder Memorial Trophy.
Instead, the Herder family should take the trophy over to the Eddie Oates and the Avalon East senior league and allow them to play for it in their championship series. As an amateur league, they have more right to it than the semi-professional NSHL and it's massive payrolls. After all, the award original purpose was an award for the top amateur senior men's team in the province, not the ones who could spend the most money or put the most fans in the stands.
It won't happen, not in a million years. But what is far more likely, from my perspective, is the Herder family taking their trophy and finding a new home for it within the confines of the provincial archives right next to the Boyle Trophy. At least there it — and their name — will be safe from being sullied by the shortsighted greed that encompasses most of senior hockey.

Published: Tuesday, July 3, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 18:07
It's a sweltering Thursday on a June evening in central Tempe, and the sidewalks along College Avenue are mostly bare.
But inside one retailer – known more for its local, boutique offerings, accessories and selection of Tom's shoes – a small crowd has gathered for an open mic night.
Performance art in a retail space? That isn't the half of it.
Across the Valley, locally-owned small business owners are turning to alternative techniques and methods to drum up business not just throughout the quiet summer months, but throughout the year.
Lacking the massive advertising budgets of their large corporate rivals, these businesses rely on word-of-mouth, social media and ideas that step outside the circle of their normal clientele to get people through the door.
Whether visitors buy anything or not during these events is typically irrelevant.
"It's a different way of marketing that isn't an ad in the paper," said Julie Kent of the open mic night – and the other events she throws – at Here on the Corner, the Tempe boutique she owns. "And even though I'm providing food and drinks, and they may not be buying anything, people remember it."
And, the theory in retail goes: if people don't even know of you, they can't think to shop you during the make-or-break-months in the retail world: November and December.
Besides the open mic nights, Kent hosts local designer nights, participates in the newly organized downtown Tempe Final Fridays (last month she hosted a kids art night) and throws tailgate parties, complete with grilled food, during home Arizona State University football games.
Kentalso partners with nonprofits, hosting sales during certain time periods where a certain percentage of the proceeds benefit a selected charity.
The key theme here: collaboration. The nonprofit directs new customers Kent's way; in return the nonprofit gets some much needed fundraising.
Working Together
Indeed, collaborative efforts are springing up across the Valley.
At Practical Art in uptown Phoenix, locally-based nonprofit The Bergamot Institute hosts kids art classes every Tuesday. The classes give the institute, which is dedicated to "supporting the creative work of local artists of all ages by providing work space and supplies to those who would otherwise not have access to such," a public place to spread their message; and a way to fundraise (Practical Art turns the proceeds from each 90-minute class back over to the institute).
For Practical Art, it brings in new clientele – the kids, and, more importantly, their parents.
Classes are a significant part of the alternate activities at Practical Art, which, as the name implies, sells practical household items that are also one-of-a-kind, often locally made works of art – think anything from forks and knives, to serving trays and furniture.
The store hosts a happy hour called Tipsy Tuesday on the second Tuesday of each month, Socrate's Café – an idea discussion group, a poetry reading, a book club and a pie social every third Friday. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
"All of this for us is building towards the holiday season," said Lisa Olson, co-owner of Practical Art, echoing an idea many business owners shared. "It's the idea of being in the forefront of people's mind. You may come all year and you may never spend any money, but you've seen what we have to offer and when you need one of those kinds of things, you came and you saw it, and, hopefully, you come back."
This idea of collaboration and creative thinking is something that Local First Arizona, a trade, lobbying and support organization for Arizona-based businesses, really emphasizes, said Kimber Lanning, the organization's founder and director.
"The businesses that are going to survive are the ones that are the quickest on their feet," Lanning said. "The ones that are creative on their feet."
In a recent interview, Lanning runs through a bunch of collaborations between businesses that stick out in her mind: a partnership between Changing Hands Bookstore and retailer Duck and Decanter to combine a book signing with wine from local wineries; the way the businesses at Medlock Plaza (a shopping center near Camelback Road and Central Avenue) market together; even a jeweler she heard of who recently arranged to place a jewelry display case in the waiting area of a popular restaurant, as ways that small businesses can work together.
"If you look at my own personal history," Lanning said, "this is my mantra; trying to create synergy."
The Message
Synergy comes naturally at downtown Phoenix's Icehouse – a historic Phoenix building that dates back to 1920 when it began as a plant manufacturing 300-pound blocks of ice that were used, primarily, to transport perishables by train to the eastern US.
Here, the Hestenes family, the owners, and executive director Peter Conley, have been creating a kind of urban dreamscape.

Who We Are
April 18, 2012 -- Pema Chodrin:
Meditation practice isnt about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. Its about befriending who we are already. The ground of practice is you or me or whoever we are right now, just as we are. Thats the ground, thats what we study, thats what we come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest.
Illuminating Meditation
I embraced a formal meditation program when I began a vision quest of my own several weeks ago. I listened to it continuously for 8 days and then my third
eye was opened. I felt an instantaneous and incredibly deep connection with mother earth. I wanted to "go in her" and I was stood up and asked spiritually who walks with me? I was held by both arms and answered, "Buffalo Calf Woman and Spiderwoman walk with me." Then I was allowed to "enter into" (felt like my soul flew to her straight from my solar plexus) and commune with Mother Earth. I felt her ask me where had I been for so long??! I cried and cried that I only now remembered my "job" here. I feel I must have been one of Mothers Priestesses. I was filled with an immense sense of love and well being. Mother told me to tell everyone to please lay down all their crystals, rocks and rings they love and put themselves flat on her face or on a wood floor or other natural surface where she can feel our hearts and our love. I slept on the floor with my rocks and crystals for 8 days.
Well, my family thought I was nuts and put me in a mental hospital where they gave me some pill to make me sleep. When I got out I still felt the same and knew I needed to contact Native Americans who could help me in a spiritually guiding way. I prayed and went to South Dakota where I met a Native American family. They prayed with me on the sacred ground of the Black Hills. I know my way is the Red Road (my great-grandmother was Cree and though I never met her, I have always felt I was Indian and that she is with me).
I was raised in Brooklyn, NY and my parents say I didn't sleep my first year until they took me tent camping. I believe that when I lay on Mother Earth and felt nature and the sounds and smells of her around me I was able to relax enough to deeply sleep through my first night.
Meditation can surprise you with it's ability to connect us with the core of who we are.
I pray for all my relations. Love, light, peace and joy to all that lives.
I didn't know where else on the web I could put my experience. Thank you and bless you for having this perfect space to share our meditations spiritual realities.

Reason Midi Sync
I was looking to do sort of a multi midi sync with Reason and was wondering if it was possible.
Essientially, what I was looking to do was to have a Reason song synced up to an external clock. I then was looking to call up another Reason song (with the first still open and playing) and have that song sync to the external clock as well, HOWEVER, I wanted this second song to start from it's beginning.
At present I'm having multiple issues with this. The first song I call up will work fine, allowing me to add things on top of it, loop certain sections of it for a time, etc. However, once I have the second song open and instruct it to play, it follows the clock signal a bit to closely. That is to say, rather than starting from it's beginning, it jumps XXX measures into the song. Furthermore, the song that was playing previously stops as soon as I instruct the other song to begin play.
The only way I've found to get the second song to start from it's beginning has been to completely stop my master clock source and restart it.
I've found no way to get two Reason sequences to play at the same time synced to an external clock source.
Idealy, I want the ability to manipulate where exactly a Reason song begins as well as the ability to have (at least) two songs/sequences playing at the same time.
Please, someone tell me there is a way to get Reason to sync up soley the tempo/timing of the master clock and ignore measure placement! That there is a way to have two sequences play at once!

As highly touted of a prospect as Matt Duchene was after bursting onto the scene in 2009, much has been made of his supposed fall from grace over the past 12 months. Sure, one could look subjectively at the 2011-2012 campaign's drop in production for Duchene and suggest the notion that something inherently wrong has infiltrated his makeup or conditioning regimen.
(Editors note: Matt Duchene switched trainers this past summer – he now works out with Sidney Crosby's trainer, Andy O'Brien, during the offseason).
The fact that Duchene fell below his previous upward trajectory has been largely blamed by the media on a natural yet inexplicable regression. Some doubted his character, work ethic and had even been labeled with a sense of entitlement by the Denver Post's beat writer, Adrian Dater. However, the fact that Matt found himself out of the groove dealing with an ailing knee cannot go unstated, as he faced his first real absence from the game in three seasons in the NHL. Many of the same pundits have pointed fingers at a demise of his skills right out of the gates preceding the injury, in an attempt to erase the knee ailment as an alibi for his drop in production.
All you need to do is take a peak at his first two months game logs from the 2011-12 campaign to notice he had rung up 16 points in his first 21 games, amounting to a 0.762 PPG mark-- not all that far behind his sophomore output. It was highlighted by a hat trick performance in Dallas during November where Duchene showed the offensive dynamism he's capable of.
So the real question may come down to chemistry, as Duchene wasn't the only one in Colorado to experience a major regression. His off and on linemate, Paul Stastny, also saw his production suffer (according to Frozen Pools' Most Common Line Combination Report Generator)
The two had been paired for all three of Duchene's seasons, and it seemed as if Joe Sacco was intent on forcing the chemistry of the two back to prior levels by refusing to separate them through the hard times, whether or not Duchene's personal slump was attributable to his knee injury prior to the layoff.
Lets take a closer look at Duchene's production cross referenced with who his most frequent linemates were…
In the 1st quarter of the season when things were going reasonably well, you can see via Frozen Pool's Fantasy Profile tool below that he spent a shade over 30% of his time with Stastny.
However, months later upon returning from the lengthy injury layoff, whether or not Matt was adapting well to getting back into the grind and reactivating his recently healed knee, his production was nowhere near prior levels. However, that did not stop Joe Sacco from pairing him over 30% of the time with Paul Stastny once again during the seasons full fourth quarter.
Clearly, the bench boss was hoping that the chemistry which worked quite well for the two years prior still existed, even ignoring calls to switch things up in the interim when the chemistry was frankly no longer transparent as the two both experienced career lows playing together down the stretch.
All things considered, the Avalanche's omission from the 2012 playoffs was probably for the best of the young duo to wipe the clean slate with an early off-season and more importantly for Matt to further conditioning his body over an extended off-season. Things are looking much better for Matt nowadays as he has plied his trade in the Swedish Elite league for Frolunda , recording 14 points in 19 games before moving over to the top Swiss league.
Expect a full turnaround for Matt, which would perhaps be significantly augmented should he see some time on a line with Gabriel Landeskog when the NHL resumes, while newly acquired Steve Downie could provide more physical protection and room creation for Paul Stastny to exemplify his skills, should Sacco try that pair out as well. In any event, a change of chemistry would be absolutely necessary for Duchene to continue on his road back to excellence after a blip of a season marred with injury and stagnant line matchups in the Mile High City.

Every time I watch him I find my self yelling at the TV "why do you still have the puck?!" as though he's Mason Raymond. He appears to be what I have always referred to as a play-killer, frequently hanging onto the puck way too long, seemingly thinking he can make a play out of thin air, when really what he has done is mail it in while his linemates watch helplessly. In fact, he's doing that right now in the Spengler Cup.
Hopefully he figures it out and continues to progress, but I'm not nearly as convinced as I was 3 years ago.
Pengwin7 said:
Sacco was re-signed for 2 more years in Colorado, that is worth noting and not necessarily good for Duchene, who has posted a 3-year +/- of +1, -8, -11 (last year). When Landeskog is posting a +20, it doesn't bode well for Duchene's ice-time.
I do think it was a good note about Downie perhaps providing some grit on a potential Duchene line. We'll see... I'm not big on the kid's overall game... raw skills = awesome, but there's something off currently and I'm not sure it will fix itself in the next year or two (with Sacco there).

OOPS … Having an unusual Tuesday County meeting the same day as the Telluride Town Council proved a Faustian bargain for The Watch last week, and we missed some important stories: 1) A unanimous vote by the Board of Commissioners to protest the most recent gas leases (and the public pillorying of the U.S. Forest Service for contemplating gas drilling in occupied Gunnison Sage Grouse habitat and Norwood's municipal watershed – high theater) … 2) San Miguel County's decision to drop out of Club 20 (i.e., not paying their annual dues of $300) – something that Gunnison, San Juan and Archuleta counties have already done (call it Club 16?) … and 3) the County pledging 80 percent of federal Secure Rural School Act monies (instead of the usual 5 percent) to the two local school districts (Norwood and Telluride) resulting in over $70,000 of new dollars for local students … A pretty productive session for county government.
A PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER … Victor Rivas Rivers came to Telluride to speak at the invitation of the San Miguel Resource Center a few months back. A riveting and inspiring storyteller, he recounted his nightmare growing up. I was stunned. And motivated. I bought his book (Atria Books, New York, 2005). And wrote several poems about the physical violence that passed for "discipline" when I was a child – like getting whipped with a leather belt on the bare butt … Of course that was nothing like the abuse Rivas suffered all through his youth. And yet he went on to become successful as an actor and a spokesperson for ending domestic violence … I think the Rivas memoir ought to be required reading for all males in American society (according to RAINN, the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network, one in six women and one in thirty-three men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime) ... Our own San Miguel Resource Center is hosting their annual Chocolate Lover's Fling as an annual benefit for the campaign against domestic violence Feb. 7th at the Telluride Conference Center … 7:30 to midnight with DJ Harry … Dress like a beautiful bride or a corpse bride, dig out that old bridesmaid's dress, come as a groom, minister, wedding crasher, or shotgun wedding participant … Tickets go on sale Jan. 7th for $40 through Jan. 31st. at Two Skirts, www.tellurideticket.com, or SMRC offices.
RUMOR MILL … No, not the Paradox Valley uranium processing mill, which is on hold after the drop in the price of uranium and the drying up of capital markets, but the word-on-the-street (as a former short-time local journalist, who's migrated to Ouray these days, used to say) has it that the impending sale of the Back Narrows Inn in Norwood to a Mountain Village developer for employee housing has fallen through. While that's probably both good and bad (depending on your perspective), it's a relief that we aren't seeing Mountain Village cannibalizing Norwood's hot beds for workhouse housing that's needed in the Telluride Region, but for which the local developers (in league with local governments) have not provided … But Norwood needs some growth to be a viable independent community, and the Mountain Village desperately needs workforce housing. And so the two maybe ought to be talking to each other, if only to clarify what they both need and how, if at all, they might help each other.
GOODBYE THE ZEPHYR … I've had my quibbles with Jim Stiles ("Junior," as his Kentucky pa calls him). But who hasn't? The man is a walking confrontation. A cactus-hugging curmudgeon of neighboring Moab for nigh on 30 years, and publisher (for the last 20) of one of the quirkiest, most contentious community-building media organs in the Southwest ("clinging hopelessly to the past") … Well, you can kiss the hard copy good bye. Stiles just published his last self-indulgent, factually fascinating, luridly illustrated compendium of personal rant, nostalgia, reprinted historiana, Ed Abbey worship, hot air, a fresh breeze and some really first-rate writing by a host of slickrock lunatics and hermit fanatics … We all love the damn thing, and read it almost religiously. But there'll be no more printed issues to peruse in bookstore, bike shop or food coop on the other side of the La Sals … That's the bad (good?) news. The good (bad) news is that it's going international and cyberspacial, and this coming April Stiles is warning that he will be posting a new Planet Earth Edition at firstname.lastname@example.com
XCEL-ERATED …Or maybe we should just say, x-rated? … The Front Range utility that runs Trout Lake and the historic Ames hydro-electric station, Xcel Energy, was forced to shell out $2.6 million in settlement of a scandalous case of corporate shenanigans brought by Ritter's rejuvenated (which is to say, no longer industry-dominated) Colorado Public Utilities Commission staff. It seems that Xcel had been selling more so-called "wind power" to customers via its Windsource program than it actually had been producing … Don't you just love them energy companies?
SPEAKING OF POWER … Did anyone see the headlines in last week's Denver Post about the fires that ravaged Boulder, "One blaze likely started with a downed power line" … That's the same cause of those disastrous fires down in Southern California last year … When is the industry going to face the music and see the undergrounding of powerlines as a safety issue, and something they ought to be doing as a cost of business, not saddling the costs on the backs of citizens in counties where utility lines are sited?
DENVER … Took a trip to the Mile High capitol city last Thursday to schmooze with legislators and meet with one of Ritter's cabinet, after an on-the-way Wednesday meeting in Montrose with Forest Supervisor Charlie Richmond … Starting the new year by getting the political lay of the land in Colorado, as we shift from a once-red state to a bright if curious blue (Sen. Michael F. Bennet?) … Not enough room in this column to explain the details. Maybe next week.
shoots from the woods,
his pure blackness stunned
to molten silver
in the evening sun.
And another, right
behind the first,
glides along the road
and then,
into the dark woods,

Oasis did an excellent job tinting the windows on my new car. Great service, excellent job, and a fair price. I will recommend Oasis to anyone looking for window tinting.
Excellent Service – This was an excellent window tinting company. When I called into Oasis, the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff went out of their way to show me the difference between each tint and other products without being pushy to sell their services. The overall experience with Oasis was great. I would recommend them to friends and family.
" This is a great place to go get your windows tinted! I whent to total appearance to get my windows tinted and their quality of work is poor my I couldn't see clear out my back window I went back to them and supposedly them change it but and they charge me for their poor ass work and i call back and i still had the same problem and the said it was the glass itself even though it was a 2011 car. So i went to oasis they did great work and I now can see out my back window. Go here to get your windows tinted.
2011 Fiesta Tint – I took my 2011 Fiesta hatchback to Oasis based on the recommendation of my co-workers. I was not disappointed. I worked with Clark to make the appointment and decide how to tint the vehicle. He was knowledgeable and professional throughout my experience. The gentlemen that performed the tinting did an excellent job! I will definitely bring my vehicles back to Oasis in the future, and I recommend Oasis to anyone who needs tint work.
Amazing! – Oasis just tinted my second vehicle in three years, and I'll never look anywhere else. There cannot be another buisiness that delivers the overall experience that Oasis is able to do. Their kindness and customer service is like none I've seen. The only thing better than the customer service is the work they do...best tint I have ever seen on any vehicle--on both my Cadillacs. Keep up the great work. AWESOME!!!
Great job-great people – I was calling around looking for quotes on the phone and recieved a few. Then I called Oasis. The quote was about the same as the others but the proffesionalism of Clark is what peaked my interest. He was knowledgable, courteous and really listened to my story. I went over there and he showed me 2 kinds of tint. Ended up with the more expensive because it seemed to fit our needs. The job they did was so very detailed and perfect! This was my daughters car and he took a pic and said "tell her to pull up fb and look at her car online". I did, and she was thrilled. When i drove it home she said "it looks like a new car". Thanks so much to Clark and all the guys at Oasis...you have our business for sure....
Great customer service!! – Recently brought my truck back to Oasis to fix a small hole in the tint from what I thought was a defect in the tint or an installation error. They listened to to what I had to say without hostility or interuption. After explaining what I thought was going on they agreed to replace the tint at a substantial discount then procedeed to show me by pulling my door panel off, showing me the track that the window slides in and actually hitting the window with the seatbelt making idenical holes in the tint demonstrating my own seatbelt is the only thing that could have caused this damage.
I am extreemly greatful for a company that operates in such a manor as to put the customer first, now mater how wrong they may be.
ATL's best Window Tint & More..... – I found this place thru online reviews and I have to say - I am very pleased with the tint I got.
Very easy to setup an appointment, quick installation and a great finished product. I will definitely recommend this place.
Oasis Window Tinting - One of the Best in Atlanta Area – "Oasis Window Tinting" has installed the paint protective film from 3M in my brand new Honda. The installation was flawless! They paid a lot of attention to details during the installation process.
First, they showed me the paint imperfections that my car already had before they even laid their hands on it. Clark had his eyes only a few inches from my front bumper and hood to catch even the small imperfections on the finish. After all of the inspections, he recommended the best package that I could get to fit my pocket and car needs.
Remember, each car has specific needs for film coverage. For instance, some vehicles have steeper front angles for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency purposes than others. In this case, the hood, front bumpers, and fenders may need to be completely covered for maximum protection.
The customer service was super! The result was great, impeccable! They are experts in what they do, and they have a state-of-the-art plotter to cut the film with precision.
I love my tint!!! – I loved my tint so much, I went back and did it on my other windows!!

I drew this picture of Rivers yesterday.
Was wondering if any of you have any tips for me? I'm not happy with the eyes or the nose..
Also, if any of you have any decent headshots of the other guys from the band.. because I haven't been able to find any to use.
I wasn't sure whether I should put this in All Things Weezer or All Things Not Weezer, so you can move it if you want.

i've removed the off-topic bickering from this thread. please keep all posts on topic in this forum.
thank you

1) practice!
2) learn shading techniques!
3) it helps if you turn the picture upside down when drawing the eyes and nose to keep everything in line and proportioned correctly.
4) grids and tracing are bad, and real artists don't use them.
Draw everyday, and eventually you'll get better.
If you're into those portrait drawings, then maybe one day you'll be able to draw like that.
And as Fluck said, PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
The drawing has a sense of peace about it I think. The soft lines and sketching you use to convey the hair and mouth work well. Perhaps you've let the eyes and glasses/ frames dominate the face a bit too much, which affects the overall composition of the face. It can be a difficult task creating an image from a photograph as opposed to observing a person in real life. As to the success of the drawing it depends on what your objective is. Do you want to create a realist portrait, or a stylised representation of Rivers?

It demonstrates that a person can be represented in any number of ways.
With regards to other techniques that artists may use, my advice would be to experiment with a range of techniques until you find the approach that works for you. You might want to try the grid technique or just practise free hand. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or to ask for critical feedback, because this is how you will learn and develop your skills.
As for head shots of the band, you can always search for images online and then just crop the photos.
